Terrence Morris Signs with Maccabi Tel Aviv

Earlier this month, Terrence Morris (1997-2001) signed with Maccabi Tel Aviv in Israel. Local paper Haaretz says Tel Aviv offered him double what his old team, Hapoel Jerusalem, was paying him:

Maccabi landed Morris after offering him double the sum that his team of the last six months, Hapoel Jerusalem, had been willing to pay.

Morris joined Hapoel in mid-season and emerged as a major part of the team's rotation, averaging 13 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks as the team came out of a slump to win the State Cup and make it to the playoff finals.

There are a few shots of Terrence dunking and blocking shots towards the end of this video introducing the new 2007-08 Maccabi Tel Aviv line-up (he shows up around the 1:25 mark if you want to skip straight there):
